The interdisciplinary uses of traditional cartographic resources
and modern GIS tools allow for the analysis and discovery of
information across a wide spectrum of fields. A Research Guide to
Cartographic Resources navigates the numerous American and Canadian
cartographic resources available in print, and online, offering
researchers, academics and students with information on how to
locate and access the large variety of resources, new and old.
Dozens of different cartographic materials are highlighted and
summarized, along with lists of map libraries and geospatial
centers, and related professional associations. A Research Guide to
Cartographic Resources consists of 18 chapters, two appendices, and
a detailed index that includes place names, and libraries,
structured in a manner consistent with most reference guides,
including cartographic categories such as atlases, dictionaries,
gazetteers, handbooks, maps, plans, GIS data and other related
material. Almost all of the resources listed in this guide are
categorized by geography down to the county level, making efficient
work of the type of material required to meet the information needs
of those interested in researching place-specific
cartographic-related resources. Additionally, this guide will help
those interested in not only developing a comprehensive collection
in these subject areas, but get an understanding of what materials
are being collected and housed in specific map libraries,
geospatial centers and their related websites. Of particular value
are the sections that offer directories of cartographic and GIS
libraries, as well as comprehensive lists of geospatial datasets
down to the county level. This volume combines the traditional and
historical collections of cartography with the modern applications
of GIS-based maps and geospatial datasets.
